Still Worried About Roof Problems That Keep Getting Worse?
At Prime Building Care, we specialise in professional roof condition surveys across London — and we know exactly what you’re dealing with:
✅ You’ve seen slipped tiles, damp ceilings, or pooling on flat roofs — but don’t know how bad it really is.
✅ Contractors gave conflicting advice — and you want a qualified, independent surveyor, not a sales pitch.
✅ Your property has been patched before, but leaks and deterioration keep returning.
✅ You’re buying or managing a home and need proof of roof condition before proceeding with works or negotiation.
✅ You’re unsure if the roof is still fit for purpose — and want professional insight before it becomes a costly mistake.
The Real Cost of Roof Neglect — And Why Prime Building Care Does It Differently
At Prime Building Care, we’ve seen what happens when roof issues are ignored — water-stained ceilings, hidden rot in roof timbers, leaks that worsen with every rainfall, and emergency repairs that cost thousands more than a simple inspection would have.
We’ve inspected properties where contractors missed clear warning signs. Where leaks were blamed on gutters, but the real issue was a failed flashing. Where clients paid for patch jobs — only to face the same problem months later.
That’s exactly why we do things differently.
We carry out structured, high-level roof condition surveys across London — inspecting both pitched and flat roofs for signs of damage, deterioration, or water ingress. Using zoom lens equipment, safe high-access tools, and professional surveying expertise, we assess the roof’s true condition and give you a clear, photographic report.
No upselling. No jargon. Just evidence-led insight you can use to negotiate, plan, or act — whether you’re a buyer, landlord, or managing agent.
We Do What No One Else Does

Every inspection is conducted or reviewed by a RICS-trained surveyor. You’ll receive a photographic report with real findings and recommendations — trusted by homebuyers, landlords, and property managers.
